| proceed With the work. He spoke of the
great advantage Of the Plaza in its present
condition, end deprecated the idea hat It
! Should be encroached upon at this tIH1e for
hay market purposes. The time had come
when the city should select some ether
place for hay market.

| proposed charge and instead of the Plazs.
being made smaller he insisted that it.
should be restored to is original size. NJ
/ ID. Rideout, it was stated, would furnish,
| suitable vacant ground for the hay market
Jear the Plaza for the next sixty days, in
cFder to allow the Trustees to select a
more suitable place for it. Mr.. Hamilton
suggested that the bay market be located
or street, between Fifth ard Sixth.
Ntter considerable discussion between
the members of the committee and the
the matter would be properly disposed of,
and the Plaza would, not be further in
fringsd upon.
Ad. c. HincksOn, who has appeared
before the Board on several occasions. de-
! mandins the opening of streets east of
Agricultural Park, repeated his request.

of the streets, saying that number of
people were using the property for growing
crops and that there was no demand for
real estate in that locality.

favor of opening of the streets. The law.
he claimed, was on his side, and the Trus-
tees should enforce it. He finally declared
that if the Trustees refused to do what he
considered their plain duty in the premises
he would carry the matter into the Courts.
